First of all, congrats with the new Lives release, and the demo which

The offending waveshapes are removed, but I had G-Force hanging a
different one a while ago, couldn't reproduce, as ussual.
I plan to replace the G-Force VM altogether, somewhere when we're
nearing 0.4.0, which is in 4 to 5 months or something ;)
I don't understand what you mean by 'a flag' ? If you mean that we
should indicate which plugins are good for lives and which not, this
is not something to happen in a library, and it's very subjective.

Jakdaw is solved in CVS, that was a very huge mistake yeah.
For the rest, I need detailed valgrind reports. Leaks can also happen
in libraries.

Sounds great

Blue yeah, and you're right, will fix it.
